102 CD & The Open Farm Sundays

Tonight i’m heading all the way down to beautiful Liskeard in
Cornwall to talk to the Chief Exec of LEAF (Linking Environment And
Farming), Caroline Drummond @LEAFchief

We talk about her early life growing up in the countryside, and
how she developed a keen interest in all things farming, which
resulted in her eventually becoming the first female President of
the students union at Seale Hayne Agricultural College.

We also discuss her time as lead singer of CD & The
Sensations (!), before going on to talk about her time travelling
and working on various farms, including a stint on a cattle station
in Australia.

We then go into how she first came across LEAF, what the
organisation does, and how she initially got involved in 1991, and
how it’s changed and evolved in the 28 years she’s been there,
before discussing at length the incredible OPEN FARM SUNDAY. We
talk about what it is, how and why farmers can get involved, with
this year’s event taking place on 9th June, and some of the
incredible results they’re seeing in the perception of UK
agriculture.

Caroline’s a legendary figure in British farming, and it was
fantastic to talk to her tonight.

Check it out folks..
